Despite the answers you received from the two obviously misinformed or just plain unaware posters above, who clearly are incapable of doing any sort of minor research before spewing off false information to the public via their keyboard, there is an answer for you.

The reason GM is not involved in the Vibe recall is because Toyota is actually the company that built it. Its sister car, the Toyota matrix, was built along side it at a plant called NUMMI in California, which was a joint venture between Toyota and GM but leaned far toward Toyota as far as manufacturing techniques and overall operations (you can find many other partnerships like this between ford and Mazda, gm and Nissan, etc...

Toyota actually owns the manufacturing of this car, hence why it is listed under the Toyota category.

One of our cars is a 2009 Vibe and I get recall notices, even after the GM bankruptcy. The last one was for the Toyota accelerator pedal issue and the GM dealership modified the pedal when I brought it in for service.
If your mailing address is the same and you were the original buyer, you are likely to get a recall notice, or you could go to a GM dealer and check if the car is on a recall list yet.

A lot of folks are going to be inconvenienced by this. I suggest the OEMs give them loaners. FCA should hand out Ferraris, BMW, I8s, Honda new NSXs, and so on. What's more, the owners should have the option to keep the loaners on a straight car for car trade. Yeah, that's the ticket.

Seriously, hopefully no one will be hurt or killed in the months it will take for this recall to be done. And I definitely would avoid buying Takata stock.

Hi, my name is Kendyl Murtaugh and I work for ABC World News Tonight, we are working on a story about the airbag recalls and it looks like you've been affected by it. We would like to chat with you, if you could give me a call at 212.456.4040 that would be great. Look forward to hearing from you, thanks!

Thank you Car & Driver for updating this original posting, because I know I saw it last year. Right now, this s**t is getting worse. As of last night, the news of this dangerous airbag finally reached Jamaican soil and already our used car dealers association wants to dumb down the probability of any being here. The 2 mostly mentioned brands in this whole list are the brands most Jamaicans have i.e. Toyota and Honda. I know too many people with 01-05 Honda Civics. Luckily I did tell one about it when I first saw the report and told her to be on the lookout. We get cars from all over the world (Japan, N.America, Europe). I'll be keeping a watch on this page.

This recall is now (as of today at about 5:00 p.m.) up to 34 Million vehicles. Yikes.

It will take Takata SIX YEARS just to make enough parts to fix that many vehicles. This is becoming mind-numbing. None of our vehicles is involved, it seems, but the newest question for a lot of folks is: should we disable the front-passenger airbag in the meantime???

I hear ya, but the deployment-threshold is quite low - about 11-13 mph in some cases, I think?

My grandmother lightly hit a parked car, with her Buick, years ago. The bag deployed, blowing her clip-on earrings into the back seat. She was fine, but those airbags didn't spout shrapnel, and the car needed about $6000 in front-end repair.

About a 15-mph one, with a Buick Park Avenue. The car was parked on the side of the street. That was all for her car - hood, grille, bumper parts, headlamp, a/c condensor, cooling fans, maybe the radiator, other lamps, trim, paint, etc. Not sure what the damage was to the parked car.

It would have been double that amount for a BMW or equivalent, I'd guess.

There are very few crashes where simply paying attention and driving intelligently (i.e. not tailgating, anticipating traffic, etc.) cannot avoid. I have had many close calls with other idiots on the road, but because I was paying attention, was able to prevent a crash.

That's not to say all crashes are avoidable, but most are. My dad is 52 years old and drives 30K miles a year, and in my life he's never been in an accident. I'm 25.

I havea a 2010 Kia Rio (Thank God No Takata). The gate at my work closed as I was entering thelot, & caused a quarter-sized shallow dent in mt right rear fender. Estimate from a body shop was over $1,000. Still cost my company 100 for a detail & 250 for a mobile dent removal. It doesn't take much. Car's version of a medical bill.

The defects actually cancel each other out....after your car turns itself off at highway speed, the airbag is automatically disabled!.....so as long as the three lanes of traffic all around you are empty and the sides of the road are as barren as Death Valley - you'll be fine.
